| Commentary | From the whole episode, Hayman has chosen one moment of fine humour; the funny description of don Quixote and doña Rodríguez has been masterly represented (see doña Rodríguez' realistic face).
From the door, one Duchess' maiden observes doña Rodríguez going into don Quixote's room. Very acceptable engraving. |
